$result = $class->method(); //returns an array of associative arrays
if($result==TRU E) $cat=$result[0]['element1'];
I've been converting a class from an original and the original class
*apparently* returned an array that could be boolean tested. My conversion
seems to have lost this ability.
if($result)
seems to be testing for non-NULL which gets me what I need, but I don't
want to change these lines in the program. I *can* change the class coding.
Is there something I can add to what the class method returns (the array)
that answers straightaway as a boolean?

If what you have here is correct, I don't see how it could have worked
in the past.
if($result) tests for non-null or non-zero. if($result==TRU E) checks
for 1 or not 1.
An array is non-null/non-zero, so if ($result) returns true. But an
array is not equal to 1, so if ($result == 1) will always be false.
Many routines in this case return the array or false. In this case,
if($result) would work. But if($result == TRUE) won't work unless you
return 1 or not 1.

It checks for the boolean TRUE, not for the integer 1. That's a
difference, because in this case it determines what the first operand
will be converted to if necessary. A non-empty array always evaluates to
TRUE, so the above condition will be TRUE as well.

Correct, but ...

.... it will work for non-empty arrays:
<?php
$someArray = array(42);
var_dump($someA rray == 1); // FALSE
var_dump($someA rray == TRUE); // TRUE
?>
Of course an explicit comparison would be much better and more reliable:
if (!empty($someAr ray)) {
...
}

It's worthwile, especially since so many people reading about php
here are actually looking for results from mysql functions which may
correctly return no data, to rememeber that such a test isn't REALLY
testing whether the result is successful or unsucessful, but rather
whether the test returned any results.
----------------------
$ cat foo.php
<?php
$my_array = array();
if ($my_array) {
print "Array is true\n";
} else {
print "Array is false\n";
}
$my_array = array("first value");
if ($my_array) {
print "Array is true\n";
} else {
print "Array is false\n";
}
?>
$ php foo.php
Array is false
Array is true
$
----------------------
Something using this method may *seem* like it's failing when in fact
it's working perfectly fine, it's just not returning any data. And
that's not the same thing as not working.

What I am wondering is how to correctly set up the array in the first

The output should be a prompt telling the user what they have in their hand
